mageba Hydraulic Buffers |
| Under normal circumstances, Hydraulic Shock Absorbers allow free movements of the bridge structure. Under shock impact, e.g. due to earthquakes, high braking loads or strong winds, they function temporarily as elastic damping connections. |
|
mageba Special Bearings |
| mageba has more than 40 years manufacturing know-how in the manufacturing of special bearings. |
|
RESTON®POT Bearings |
| mageba Pot Bearings are durable bearings that can be used in many situations, whether in big or small bridges, or a variety of engineering structures. |
|
TENSA®MODULAR Type LR |
| Modular Expansion Joints can be constructed for any movements, from about 100 mm up to 2,000 mm and more. They allow movements in all 3 directions and rotations around all 3 axes. |
